Lylee is passed OUT a'cause she couldn't sleep through the storm last night... I like storms because that means I get to sleep on the big bed between Dad's legs! (Or Mom cuddles on the couch with me.) The noise doesn't bother me, but Lylee sure hates it! (Lylee: I'm not sleeping, twit.)
On to bigger, better, and GOOD things! (See what I did there?!) I know I missed last week, but that means this week will be EXTRA good. Maybe I'll throw in some extra stuff, too!
1. This cat:
If you haven't heard the story or viewed this video of a cat saving a kid from a mean dog, then you're living under a twig. (Lylee: "Rock", Enzo. Living under a ROCK.) I guess there are some kid-hating dogs out there, but that sure is weird.... Good thing this cat is so awesome! (Lylee: Bleh.)
2. A Dog's Nose
A new study now says that dogs are able to sniff out prostate cancer. I wonder what that smells like.... First we save people from drugs and bombs, and now we get to help get rid of cancer (without being tested-on in a laboratory)! Win-win, human friends!
3. And this cat:
(Lylee: Stop posting things about cats.)
4. Pictures of Animals Being Cute
Have you gotten your daily dose of animals hugging? If not, here's a link! (Ignore all the silly ads.) Animals Hugging It Out
5. #YesAllWomen
This new female-empowering hashtag showed up after a misogyny-rooted tragedy occurred in California. (I have no idea what I just said... Mom may have been behind that sentence.) This harptag (Lylee: "Hashtag", Enzo. Why does Mom even let you write these things?) allows women to share a time they've faced harassment, sexism, or anything icky like that. It's pretty cool that men have also been using the hashtag to help make the world a more equal place. This pup is on-board with equality!
6. Sevenly
This is a site where you can buy stuff and then some of that money goes to a cause! The charity changes weekly so everyone gets some love! This week $7 from each purchase goes to Africa to help provide clean water. Other charities include orphan assistance, autism research, and animal welfare!
7. Cruelty Cutter
Um, ok. Coolest. App. Ever. The Beagle Freedom Project has created an app that makes it SO SIMPLE to buy cruelty-free products (i.e. products/companies/ingredients that do not test on animals). Download the app, scan the product, and educate yourself! So awesome!
App on iTunes
8. Books that Become Movies
Mom says this is a sensitive subject for book nerds (is that the politically correct term?), but I think movies are awesome! (I also can't read, so that may play into things...) Some cool b2m to look out for are The Fault in Our Stars, The Giver, and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (Mom is crying with excitement right now). A List of Some b2m, Complete with Trailers
There you have it! An extended list of GOOD THINGS to make up for my slacking!
